So Your Hunting near the border and....

Unless it was close to some border crossing or there was some clear evidence of a border, or razor wire or something I'd just go over nad drag it back.

20 yards takes no time to drag an animal...If the US guards for soem reason tried to pursue me, I would have to believe they were attempting to invade Canada, and defend my country accordingly!:D
 
there is a cutline along the border. once your over the line your in the US. i hunt near the US border the bush is canada and the open field is USA.

if your deer crosses the borded and dies, go the the closest border crossing and tell US customs what happened, they will call fish and wildlife, they show up and go get your deer. if the deer kept running, don't bother they won't chase it for you and you can't take a weapon to retrieve it.

its alot easier than getting shot, which is likely if you cross the border.

20feet.
rig a make shift lasso and rope it around the antlers and drag it back either that or devise a grapple hook system and drag it back. other wise call the co's and inform them that you shot an animal and it died 20 feet on the other side and you need a CO to come and retreive it so you dotn get charged with an offence

x2. Or call CBSA or US Customs.
 
Friends who have livestock along the border sometimes have them get thru the fence and go stateside and when I asked about how do you go about gettin them back , he said they open the gate and go get them and have never been bothered by any American officials and they have been doin this for yrs.
 
Our borders is undefended, which means that anyone who wishes to cross illegally can do so. Their are only few camera's at few places, and is is impossible for the US Homeland Security and the Canadian Border patrol to keep the our broders under surveilance.

It is impossible for the US Border Patrol, US military and vegilante groups to keep out mexicans from entering US illegally, let alone try to keep canadians from entering the US illegally. If, or by time the US authorities find out about an illegal entry by a canadian hunter who retieved his dead game on the US side, it will be to late for them anyway.

Then there is the whole other issue of illegally bringen a dead deer across the border from the US to Canada, as well as the illegal re-entry back to Canada, and if you have a gun, ammo, knife, camo gear etc, even if left un attended on the canadians side etc :)

By a general rule, do'nt hunt that close to the border. Lots of game further north of the border :)

Ah bulls**t!

Here on the great lakes so called "boarder crossings" happen all the time by people fishing.

The trouble you get is directly porportional to the #### that catches you!

Sure it happens all the time. I lived many years on the border.

In the early 90's a day's pleasure boating on the St. Mary's River turned into a 6 hour pain in the ass because we inadvertently landed where we shouldn't have.

The boat was ripped apart after an extensive search although still seaworthy when they let us go. The owner could have easily had it seized. I haven't had any trouble crossing the border since but I didn't have ID with me. I gave my correct name, address and birth date but unlike a couple of others didn't have to give up my SIN or DL numbers.

Big deal potentially equals 5.56 assault rifle pointed at your head by very unfriendly Border Patrol types.

Big deal potentially means getting getting up close and personal with Homeland Security types who take their duties very seriously.

Big deal potentially means you spending some quality with a cellmate of their choosing if you didn't leave your ammo and firearm on the other side because you illegal imported both. They are VERY touchy about that.

Big deal potentially means losing your firearm, being deported and having a ##### of a time getting back into the States again including something as simple as transferring planes in the U.S.

Big deal potentially means losing your firearms and hunting licences on this side when you get back.

You might, just might be able to claim ignorance that you didn't know where the border was and thought you were still in Canada. But if you knew or they think you knew they will make a big deal about it.

You can decide whether a game animal is worth it. If I knew it had crossed I would keeping hunting on my side of the line.

If there happens to be someone standing there yelling "DO NOT CROSS" then I won't, but in a wilderness area not only will no one notice, but they aren't going to make a big deal out of it. If someone shows up I`ll just go back to our side of the border and there is absolutely nothing they can do.

To further to complicate the matter, what about if you need to do the last killing shot on the US side ?

Don't bother, take a rock, big stick, or knife.:D A gunshot can be heard alot further than a stick.
